There really is no better platform to learn the basic mechanics of shooting than the .22 long rifle (lr). Whether shooting a handgun or rifle, .22s are perfect for shooters of all ages and levels of experience to learn, relearn, and hone their skills.
For the ideal training platform, the shooter must have an excellent ammunition to maximize efficiency and productivity. And when you have determined the ideal ammunition, you should really buy plenty of it!
Federal Ammunition’s AutoMatch Target Grade .22LR with a 40 grain LRN is just that ideal ammunition that you are looking for, and a case of 3,250 should keep you on target for quite a while. Being Target Grade ammunition, it is formulated for accuracy and designed especially for semi-automatic weapons meaning it has ample charge to fully cycle a semi-automatic firearms back into battery, and it is designed to burn clean.
Muzzle velocity for AutoMatch 40-grain LRN is pretty consistent with other 40-grain .22lr offerings, clocking in at approximately 1,200fps, dropping to about 1,075fps at the standard 50 yard zero.
You can expect to see a six inch drop at 100 yards, and over twenty inches at 150 yards, should you want to try and reach out that far.
At 50 yards, you can expect wind drift of a little over an inch at 50 yards, five inches at 100 yards, and over 10 inches at 150 yards, based on a sustained 10 mph crosswind.
If your rimfire of choice is a semi-automatic, give Federal’s AutoMatch .22lr 40 grain LRN a look. Anyone who has experience using rimfire semi-autos knows the that the struggle is real finding reliable, match grade ammunition for their firearms.

Used this for an appleseed with my .22 ruger and in my cousins handgun at the range and they worked much better than expected. Had very few if any failures that I can remember. Here ordering more.

The staff are knowledgeable and quick to respond to any question. Purchasing was quick and effortless I gave 3 stars for the “bargain” being it is not. 22 ammo is still way over priced
Jimmydreams79 –
great ammo use all the time.
Daniel –
Finding a perfect bullet for the Walther P22 is not easy. This stuff works as well as or better than any other ammo in that gun. So glad I discovered it.
Dave –
Shooting this stuff at 150 yards at a 3 inch plate and it just stays consistent – I buy 223 ammo at Bulk also with the same results – You’ll hear from me again and again.
Daniel –
My Walther P22 loves this stuff.
Dennis –

Cycled over 3000 rounds through a Browning 1911. 2 FTF out of 3 k. Works surprisingly well with a can as well. Noise level is very low but without the annoying underperforming round characteristics of a subsonic. I teach tactical shooting to “wanna be’s” and occasionally Police, and this stuff is an essential part of my “crawl, walk, then run” training. I can actually make a profit with these prices. Bulk Ammo is a great company – absolutely the best folks to work with. I am a loyal customer for life.

The best price by far. I use Federal 22LR in my handgun and rifle. Great all around product. This is my new favorite site
Ammo Annie –
Good, fast shipping, cheap.

I’ll keep it short. It’s a good quality product. Back in the day, my older brother cycled literally tens of thousands of rounds of the old Federal Lightning, which is the same as these. He had no problems and it was extremely rare to find a dud.
Matthew –
Had high hopes for this round but can’t ignore the consistent failures. Using multiple firearms I would say that about 10-15% are duds. Great price but terrible reliability.
Ian –
Fast shipping, high quality rounds, and affordable! I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Every bullet flies true. I have a Ruger 8400 I’m shooting with. I am shooting at 150 yards and I am constantly hitting my target. Out on the range there was an ear bud about 80 yards out, first try the bullet hit the mark. So far this is the best bargain I’ve found. Very good performance. There has been one misfire, but that was one out of 500 fired. I give this 10/10
Cabin in the woods –
Bought a 10/22 to plink with at the cabin and teach the grands about gun safety and proper shooting techniques. This ammo showed up in good time and should keep us practicing for some time.
OD Green –
Out of 7 different types of 22 LR, this is the only 22 LR Ammo my Sig P322 will shoot. As always, good price and fast shipping from Bulk Ammo!
